Sosin Gallery Georgette Sosin's art has an an expansive nature. It's a sense that the works are alive, stretching to break out of their frames and connect with one another as a single continuous composition. Though she's been painting and sculpting since the mid-1950s, Sosin recently has been combining varying mixes of acrylics, pastels, ink, and Japanese rice paper to blend imagery of the cosmos with the rich textures, saturated colors and abstractions of bones. Sosin's combination of bones and planets makes sense both compositionally and philosophically. " The bones are a symbol of a life that's already returned to energy," she says. "There's a spiritual aspect to it. The body is transformed to energy, and that energy is a positive force. It makes me very conscious of the oneness of our life on the planet and the cosmos. We're not separate from the sun, the moon, and the galaxies. That, to me, is sacred." Oct. 3 – 30.
